考官
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
考生
No, I don't think that they're really popular because we have developed public transportation, it's better than in the other countries. And also we have developed a car system. A lot of people are driving cars, but bikes are as well popular in good weather.
Did you have a bike when you were a child?
分数: 62.0建议: You answer directly and include memorable details about the bike and where you rode it. Improve fluency by avoiding repeated sentence openings and self-correction. Say “ride a bike” rather than “drive a bike,” and use “a bike designed for women” if that is what you mean. Keep the story concise and use clear past-tense sentences.
示例: Yes, I had a purple bike with a basket at the front. It was designed for women, and I used to ride it a lot when my family visited Jūrmala. I remember cycling around the city and enjoying the freedom.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
分数: 65.0建议: You give a clear opinion and support it with reasons, but the ideas would be easier to follow with more precise wording. Avoid joining complete sentences with a comma; use “because” or “also” to connect your points. Replace “a developed car system” with a specific description, such as convenient roads or widespread car ownership, and explain when or where cycling is popular.
示例: I wouldn't say bikes are very popular in my country, mainly because public transport is convenient and many people own cars. However, cycling is more common in good weather, especially in parks and quieter areas. I think more people might cycle if there were safer bike lanes.
× It has a it had a basket in the front.
✓ It had a basket in the front.
The student is describing a bike from childhood, so the past-tense verb had is appropriate. Remove the false start and use had consistently. When speaking, pause briefly before restarting a sentence if needed.
× No, I don't think that they're really popular because we have developed public transportation, it's better than in the other countries.
✓ No, I don't think they're really popular because we have developed public transportation, which is better than public transportation in other countries.
The original sentence joins two independent clauses with only a comma, creating a comma splice. Connect the ideas with a relative clause, such as which is better, or use a full stop. The revised comparison also makes clear what is being compared.
× But bikes are as well popular in good weather.
✓ But bikes are also popular in good weather.
As well is generally placed at the end of a clause, while also naturally comes before the adjective popular. Place the adverb where it clearly modifies the adjective.
